Finally the ivf ball is rolling

[Alexis2017]

So I got my letter in today with my next appt at the ivf clinic. Our next appt checks virology bloods and AMH levels and swabs on 23rd oct then we go back in November for the results and then they know what protocol we will be on. Only down side is I would be due to start about December but the clinic shut over Christmas so prob start January if there is a space for me .

I feel all sorts of feelings. I am excited but then quickly this feeling is over ridden by the thoughts that I just wish I could get pregnant naturally. Then I feel palpitations at the thought of it not working and how awful I will feel and prob realising that the chances are very slim being an older women at 35 and worried what AMH level will be.

Anyway I guess I am strapped in and ready for this rollercoaster ride!

The most important thing is that the ball is rolling - whatever else may or may not happen is a side note. You are doing everything you can from your side Alexis, this is a horrible thing to have to go through. But hey, it's going to be worth it and you are going to have the best year EVER!!!!!!!!!!!

Myself I know ladies aged 45+ who got pregnant via IVF. So 35-year-old woman is a young mum. x

I’m a few steps behind you, I have an appointment in November to discuss IVF, in the mean time I’m waiting on an HSG and have been taking urine samples for them to check progesterone. Like you, I’m glad we’re ‘in the system’ for IVF, and part of me is frustrated about the time each stage takes and the other part is hoping we get pregnant naturally so more time isn’t bad. I’m also almost 35 and am panicked about age and about success rates. But, there’s nothing we can do about that, what we’re going through will be worth it in the end and we will appreciate every part of having a baby. Believe it will happen! (I’m telling myself the same thing!)

Thanks everyone..I just feel very weak and I have lost all the positivity. I need to try and prepare for IVF but I just feel like I am stuck. I take 2 steps forward and I feel good and in control then I have a bad day and I am 10 steps back... if anyone has any tips to gain some sort of hope back please let it be known !
